I am trying to find information about this bow. It says EDM 26409. It's 62" and it has 50 stamped in it. Is this a good target bow and what is the best way to bring back the shine to this bow ? I am new to recurve shooting and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Jerry,
  If you go down the forum list starting from Pow Wow I think it's the 17 th forum called "Vintage/ bows collecting and click on that .
   Once you do that go down 26 posts and look for the title called vintage catalogs and click on that link that HUD has provided.
   Look for the year and Howatt and a catalog will show the year possibly. May have to go through all the years of the Howatt line of bows.
   Now as far as cleaning up that bow and removing the old grime you can get this as Lowe's .
It works great and I've done many.It is under $10.00 a can...[attachment=1,msg2971049]

Jerry,
   I brought the information back up to the top so you don't have to dig around
Too much looking for the vintage catalogs on the History/collecting forum.
   Just click on that forums and you will see it. Then click on that link.
   Hope it helps you.

Thanks for the information !!
